The CEOs of the 20 greatest states on the planet are gathering again to speak about how they manage an increasingly awake and aware population.

Riot police have used water cannons to disperse a large crowd of protesters rallying in Hamburg against the upcoming G20 summit.

Footage shared on social media shows dozens of police officers in full riot gear descending on the activists. Behind the police, lines of water cannons that are being used against the protesters.

Demonstrators had been given until the start of the week to clear out and dismantle their protest camps around the city. Most protesters refused prompting police to move in.

In an effort to make the public understand the seriousness of the threat, police released footage showing a number of homemade weapons seized by authorities in Hamburg and surrounding areas in recent weeks.

"We can assume this is only a small fraction of what is still hidden in cellars and garages around Hamburg," Jan Hieber, the head of the city's CID said, according to the Telegraph. "This is not a question of sit-ins, but of major attacks."
